Here's what's going on.

K-Drama King The Land had a rough beginning. Many people thought that the show was too predictable and had bad writing.

After the third episode, the number of people who watched it went up, as people got used to its "2000s K-Drama" quirks.

King the Land is finally hitting its stride as it gets close to the halfway point. From June 26 to July 2, 2023, it was watched legally by 4,000,000 different people on Netflix alone.

It was also watched for a total of 24,500,000 hours. This made it the best show on Netflix that wasn't in English.

Not only that, but it was number one in seven countries, including Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

In 24 other countries, it stayed in the top 10 as well. Episode 6 had a local rating of 12% for people who didn't watch it on Netflix.

The people of Korea had nothing but good things to say about the show.

It's a lot of fun. The leads look good and get along well too.

I'm telling you, it's so much fun. Congrats!

Oh, good job! Things are getting more interesting.

It seems like everything that theqoo hates at first does well in the end. How funny LOL.

Wow.

So many kids acted like if this became famous, it would be the end of the world. The show seems to be going well.

How good is it? Should I watch it?

The fifth and sixth episodes were hilarious. I usually watch it on Netflix, but it looks like I'll have to start watching it live starting this week. I really like Cheon Sa Rang and Gu Won.

They make good jokes and are cute.

Since the show has a lot of fans, it's only a matter of time before it breaks even more records for how many people watch it.

BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
